Popeye's nephews go to the Paramount Studios to see first hand how a Popeye film is made. The film in question is Popeye Meets Ali Baba which was released in 1937. The nephews interfere with filming when they believe Popeye to be in real danger.
Of the cheater or clip shows the animation studios occasionally had to do for budget and scheduling purposes, the Popeye artists were the most clever with them. They often used creative editing techniques and meta humor. In all of the Popeye cheaters, the voices are redubbed by whoever was voicing the characters at the respective time, probably for consistency with the contemporary films.
The new animation and the stock footage, while quite different, is cleverly weaved together, as if it were a behind the scenes look at Popeye Meets Ali Baba itself. The nephews interference with filming could be considered bloopers for the respective classic.
